I used regular flat black spray paint.

 

I didn't even think about this til last night, but I relocated my sigs, and in doing so removed the two plugins for the turn signals that snap into the tail light switchboard......guess I won't be getting a panacea after all.

 

Okay, confusing thread to start because the poster put tail light in the subject line but went on to ask about signal lights. So, sorry for me response on the tail light.

I started out with the HD smoked cover kit, which comes with amber replacement bulbs by the way. I think the kit was 30 bucks or might have even been 40. Not worth it quality wise. I was careful and still cracked the clips on a couple of my old covers taking them off and then cracked one of the new ones putting them on. Ended up losing one, buying a replacement, then losing another. So, I bought some smoked covers from Kuryakyn that have chromed housings. Also came with irridium bulbs so they don't show through the covers so much when they are not on. I'm happy with those. A little more expensive but sometimes you get what you pay for.

 

Okay I feel stupid! I put tail lights when I was thinking turn signals. I was wondering why everyone kept responding with tail lights. Well the tail lights are the next mod anyway. Sorry about the confusion.

 

Cool, thanks for the info. The gloss black might not be a bad idea. You probably couldn't tell the difference through the smoked lens, but it might be a bit more reflective.

 

Painted lens and smoked turn sigs.......

 

Ah crud, can we go back to talking about tail lights?

Seriously, I'd like to see pics of both at night if anybody has 'em.

 

[quote=WS6 Formula;4136442]Here's the Kuryakyn Deluxe Smoked Tail Light without the integrated turn signals P/N 4974 http://*******.com/5564l2. It has a light tint and you can see the wiring behind the LED light face plate, so I painted the inside of the lense to hide the wiring and painted around the LED lights to darken the overall look of the tail light.

Also have the Harley Davidson tinted turn signal covers P/N 69304-02 http://*******.com/6n4hj6 with the reflectors painted black.




Hello, where did you get your "Colored" seat hold down screw ?

Thanks, Wonka

 

I had the same problem with a red bulb that i bought to make my smoked tail lens ( stock size ) brighter it had melted my tail lens too, i then bought an low heat shorter in length LED light and have no problems with melting anymore but the bulb is not as bright as other LED lights that i have seen even when i apply the brake it's not bright either , what are you using ?

Thanks , Wonka
